Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1570 Drumming

Starting from Longyou, the more people go to the west side of the Hexi Corridor, the more sparsely populated it is. It is even obvious that some villages and forts have been abandoned, leaving only some broken walls and half-collapsed tile eaves. It vaguely proves that there was once a prosperous time here.

  The clouds in the sky are extremely thick, as if it is directly overwhelmed on the ground, and then as long as you walk a little further, you can reach out and get it.

  Of course, this is an illusion. In fact, the horizon is still the horizon, endless.

   Lu Bu led a team of cavalry, and walked forward slowly along the ancient road. The white smoke from the horses and horses lingered around the mouth and nose, and soon accumulated a lot of snowflakes, and then turned into frost.

  On a deserted road, boring and supplies are two fierce beasts, peeping unscrupulously from the side, and then ready to pounce at any time.

The severe cold is not a big deal for the cavalry led by Lu Bu. With sweaters, plus the original linoleum and furs, just be careful not to let the sweaters get wet with Han water or snow water. It's not very big, but the matter of supply is still a big problem.

  In other words, in the era of inconvenient transportation, supplies are still the most important factor restricting the military's outward expansion. Even if it is said that there are people living in the enemy's territory, how to live in the vast uninhabited land? If there is grassland, the model like Mongolia may be okay, but if there is no grass, such as sea water, how can we break through?

   Fortunately, Lu Bu didn't need to travel too far this time, and it was enough to bring about ten days' worth of rations back and forth.

This road used to be an official road, but it is a pity that no one left now, so it was re-occupied by various animals and plants, and now it has become narrower. If it is in spring and summer when plants grow wildly, I am afraid that some places will Can't find a place to stay...

In the front is the ranger in charge of scouting. There is no shield, only bows and arrows, the saber is slanted behind the back, and the arrows are opened at the waist for easy access. Under the leather hat, there is a pair of vigilant soldiers. His eyes kept searching for clues ahead.

   There are not many people in this part, but they are spread out, like a comb, and they are pulled far away.

In the middle, there are relatively dense main battle groups. These cavalry not only have swords, but also long spears with hemp rope wrapped around the handles, and small shields on the side of the horses. They are sturdy and form a relatively neat formation. The queue moves forward slowly. If you look down from the sky, it looks like a twisted gray-black rectangular plaque.

   At the end, there are mostly war horses, some of which are carrying some water bladders and linoleum, but many of them are empty loads. These horses are used for replacement. If you find that your horse's physical strength has dropped too much, generally speaking, you will change it after a certain distance. Dry the horse that sweats and consumes too much stamina, and then wrap it in dry felt. , Then feed a few mouthfuls of fried beans or something, and let these war horses temporarily follow behind slowly to recover their strength.

  Originally Li Ru meant not to worry too much, and waited for the spring to bloom, but Lu Bu couldn’t sit or stand.

  Anyway, you can also experiment with marching on the territory of the Western Regions for a long time to see if there are any problems, whether there are any omissions, and these experiences, etc., will be more or less useful if you really expand westward.

   After all, the big man has abandoned the Northwest for more than a hundred years, so even if there are some experiences left before, most of them have been reduced to ashes and no longer exist.

Lu Bu had already found out before that the large and powerful band of horse thieves that suddenly appeared in the Hexi Corridor was actually a tribe of Xianbei originally in Beimo. They belonged to the Lushui tribe. It's not that this King Juqu Feiyun is fat, but because he has a ferocious personality like a wild boar, and he holds vengeance, and is more fierce. The most important thing is because the title of wolf king and eagle king is so memorable, and the wild boar The king is just right...

Jiang Jiong followed Lu Bu, and added: "I heard that this Lushui tribe is one of the Xianbei in the northern part of the Yinshan Mountains. Didn't they conquer the Xianbei of the Yinshan Mountains later? These people were afraid, so they migrated westward...then they met What kind of Ma family, the two of them do not know how to hook up together..."

"Two lost dogs..." Lu Bu snorted disdainfully, "Forget it, I'll clean up the mess for Zhengxi..." Lu Bu casually touched the neck of Chituma No. The disgusting look of the ass.

   "Marquis Wen, when are we going to attack?" Wei Xu asked early.

"Since we want to kill them all in one fell swoop, we can't be too hasty..." Lu Bu hesitantly looked forward and said, "Otherwise, they really ran away first, and it's not easy to chase... First, let's see what arrangements these two bereaved dogs have. Besides..."

   Lu Bu fought like this all the time. It's not that Lu Bu has any arrogance, it's just that Lu Bu is a complete front-line general who is best at commanding troops according to subtle changes in the battlefield, so basically there is no specific attack plan in advance, everything Everything is a temporary order at the time of the battle, as for any clever tricks, it doesn't exist...

   Approaching the hiding place of the Wild Boar King and others, Lu Bu ordered someone to find a ditch for repairs. In the northwest, there are high mountains, deserts, and earth ditches that cannot be seen from a distance. These ditches may have been incisions made by glacier water, or they may have been riverbeds left by diverted rivers in ancient times. Anyway, they are all hidden under the horizon, so if you are far away, you can't see anything.

  The soldiers got off their horses one after another, looking for a place to tidy up their big companions, or feeding them something to eat and drink, and then gulping down a few sips themselves. Although they were very busy, they were busy and not chaotic.

   The scouts crawled out from the edge of the ditch, like a group of ants leaving their nest and heading for the distance.

  …………………

  The galloping speed of the war horse suddenly increased. The dense sound of horseshoes immediately turned into a roar, and then it was like thunder, shaking the entire battlefield.

   It was like a thunderclap, hitting the open wilderness heavily.

   "Drum beat! March!"

  The cavalry array of thousands of people suddenly changed from Lu Bu to the head of the goose, and the adult characters quickly began to change formations while running at high speed. The sharp front of the flying geese is getting longer and sharper. From a distance, it looks like a sharp sword with a murderous look. The cold light stimulates the eyes of everyone in Lu Shui Xianbei, and even takes away the sunlight from the sky , I just feel that the sharpness of the next moment will pierce the skin, flesh and blood, and pierce anything.

   King Juqu Fei Yun seemed to have been stabbed in advance by this sharp point, with surprise, pain, remorse, etc. all mixed together on his face. He originally thought it was only a small-scale Han army, but a small scouting team who found his lair inadvertently. Outflank and solve this Han army, but the result...

   Run back?

  Let’s not talk about whether they can run, but how can those unprepared clansmen in the old lair do anything well in front of the Han soldiers? Is it possible to abandon the tribe again and then flee west?

King Juqu Feiyun looked around, and the troops he brought out were two thousand-man teams. Although they were not completely full, they still had a certain advantage in number. If they saw Han people, they would turn around and run away. All of them are a great blow to the morale of their own people...

King Juqu Feiyun pulled out his saber and shouted with all his strength: "The left wing moves closer to the Chinese army, the right wing covers, the Chinese army strikes, and advance at full speed! Let the Ma family boy copy the flank! Kill!" He kicked the horse's belly hard. , the horse was in pain, and rushed out like an arrow. The surrounding guards immediately gathered together, forming a huge front arrow, and rushed towards the middle of the Han army.

  The cavalry on both sides are getting closer!

  Juqu King Fei Yun pulled the horse's reins with one hand, brandished a sword with the other, and shouted with unknown meaning: "Hululu..."

  Lu Shui Xianbei also shouted loudly at the same time, and the battlefield was filled with such strange shouts for a while: "Hululu... Hululu..."

   This method is like a fierce beast in the arena, or a wild beast in the mountains, raising its head and howling. In addition to declaring sovereignty, it is also to enhance the momentum of its own side!

  Because the two sides were galloping at the same time, the distance between them quickly narrowed.

   King Fei Yun of Juqu shouted: "Arrow up, arrow up..."

  The Xianbei cavalry skillfully took the bow and arrow into their hands, then bent the bow and set the arrow, and threw it towards the sky, trying to disrupt the formation of the Han people with one or two waves of arrow rain before contact.

   "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

Amidst the sound of bowstrings, gray, black or yellow arrows flew into the air with screams of different heights, then quickly turned around from the air, turned around and fell, like a group of blood-sucking The worm, like a sparse black cloud, shrouded Lu Bu forward.

   "Raise your shield!"

  Lv Bu shouted loudly, and then Fang Tian's painted halberd circled in the air, sweeping down a large area of ​​arrows, not only covering himself, but also helping Chituma No. 2 and the close guards call out the arrows. .

Although it is said that Zhengxi has always emphasized equipment and has a very high immunity to arrows in the backbone era, but to be honest in wars, it does not depend entirely on equipment, and there is a considerable part of luck. Therefore, after the arrows fall, There are still some pawns whose luck value has fallen to the bottom of the valley when they are shot in the face by arrows, or at some joints, they are immediately turned on their backs, and then submerged by the subsequent horseshoes, leaving only a **** mark...

  The two sides are forty or fifty steps apart, and they can clearly see each other's faces when they face each other.

   "Take the Spear! Throw!"

   Seeing that the two sides were about to collide head-on, Jiang Jiong shouted loudly, took the short spear behind him, and threw it forward!

   "Om... Om..."

Due to the cast iron head and short body, the short spear is somewhat front-heavy and rear-heavy, but because of this, it is especially suitable for throwing. It is like a large crossbow bolt. Although the range is much shorter than that of bows and arrows, however In terms of power at close range, it is several times that of bows and arrows!

  In the next moment, Lu Shui Xianbei's soldiers fell down a large area as if they were directly bitten by an invisible beast. One or two hundred Xianbei soldiers screamed, accompanied by the screams of the horses before they died, and were trampled like a piece of fallen wheat straw by the soldiers of the own army and the Han soldiers who rushed up. In the yellow sand, they were crushed by countless His horseshoes turned into a piece of **** meat sauce, which was bloodier and more terrifying than a slaughterhouse.

  However, more soldiers had no time to respond to the bloodshed. The next moment, they were like madmen who lost their minds, fighting each other with their lives.

  The strong **** breath, even the wind can't blow it, and the fierce battle between the two sides has become the most powerful voice in this world at this moment.

Lu Bu brandished Fang Tian's painted halberd, without looking at the Xianbei swords and spears that were coming straight at him, roared, and made a few simple straight and sweeping slashes, with a unique screaming sound, as if released from **** Not only the ordinary Xianbei soldiers, but even the heads of the Xianbei war horses that rushed towards them were cut off by Lu Bu!

Fortunately, the Xianbei soldiers who did not die, accompanied by the stumps of other Xianbei troops, because of the death of the horses, could not control their bodies and flew in the air. Before they could land, they were shot through by the cavalry behind Lu Bu. Belly!

Under the leadership of Lu Bu and Jiang Jiong, the cavalry of the Han army marched forward bravely and fought the enemy bravely, and because they were unfolding a long formation of geese, even if they missed a hit, they continued to gallop forward regardless, letting the rear Follow up with other comrades-in-arms to deal with, forward, only forward, the galloping horse is like a blade pierced into the flesh and blood, moving forward along with the blood!

Lu Bu leaned over and chopped off an enemy soldier who was about to chop his horse to death, then made a small roundabout and chopped off half of the enemy rider on the left, then pulled it to the side, and cut the neck of another Xianbei cavalryman, and died around him. The blood spattered by the Xianbei troops was like layers of blood mist, immediately staining Lu Bu's battle armor, Lu Bu's battle robe, and Lu Bu's red rabbit horse red!

This mass of red, jumping and moving, with boundless killing intent and breathtaking magnificence, is like igniting an incomparably bright red flame in the battlefield, attracting countless flesh and blood, becoming The white bones under his seat have achieved the prestige of the God of War!

Lu Bu is in the front and Jiang Jiong is on the right. The two of them are the symbols of the advance of the entire Han army cavalry. The flying geese have exerted a strong impact and destructive power. The soldiers on the outside slashed and killed the enemy cavalry, and the soldiers on the inside supplemented the casualties on the outside. , It turned out to be orderly, like a huge hair clipper, under the criss-crossed teeth, not only cut the hair, but also brought a whole blood groove!

   The Ma family's troops who were going to attack the flank of the Han army, after seeing such a scene, couldn't help slowing down their horses, and hesitated...

   "Who is this guy?!" Matthew stared at Lu Bu, who was like a **** flame, with a look of horror in his eyes. Ma Xiu thought that his martial arts were also good, but it was extremely difficult for Lu Bu to be on the battlefield like this, still understatement, but to cut through the waves of blood with ease, as fast as a ferocious beast, and as sharp as a magic weapon. There is no need to fight head-to-head, and Matthew is already a little timid.

   Pang De on the side also showed a trace of panic in his eyes, "Lu? Could it be... why is this guy here?!"
